I am not sure how the cams would break if you removed the cam cover without the cam locks. They are held in by 2 other caps so they are not going to fall out.
They need lubrication to the bearings so there is a small amount of clearance even when they are torqued down. But I am not a pro so maybe some can shed some light.
Tip....use just a couple mm bead of sealant on the re-seal.

The cams are cast iron, and the collective spring pressure is enough to deflect and crack them when the upper journals built into the covers are removed. We have seen more than one DIY go bad this way.
